Smile Whenever You Can

When things don't go 10 suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste yonr time in fretung,
But drive away that frown;
Since life i oft perplexing,
lis much the wisest plan,
To bear all trials bravely,
And smile whenever YOU can.
Why should you dread the morrow,
And thus despoil to-day?
For when you borrow trouble,
You always have 10 pay.
It's good old maxim,
Which should be often preached
"Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached"
You might be spared much signing,
you would keep in mind,
The thought that good ana evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your casket,
That precious jewel-health.
And though you're strong and sturdy,
You may have an empty purse
(And earth has many trials
Which consider worse);
But whether JOY or sorrow
Fill mp your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter,
To smile whenever you can.
